1t is stated that French women who bear
the palm for exquisite dressing have fewer
gowns than English or American women Of
the same degree of wealth. They, however,
invariably manage to surpasS most women in
the world in taste and genuine elegance This
is not altogether due to the peculiar and fin
ished style which French women invariably
and intuitively possess. They bestow both
time and thought upon the subject before
purchase, and also decide on all the etceteras
of toilet in advance. They are exact as to
fit and scrupulous as te finish, and when salts
fed that all is exactly as it should be, wear
their apparel with easy grace and a happy
conscious Inconsistencies which few women
can successfully initiate.
Many women who can afford it, and also,
alas, many who cannot, buy too many gowns,
and without duo regard to their accessories;
and in most cases it is discovered too late
that it would prove far too great an outlay of
money to purchase hats, bonnets, shoes,
gloves, wraps and parasols to match, or even
to harmonize; and so compromise is effected
which allows an Indifferent match or a far
from artistic contrast to do duty for that per-
lection Of detail which Frenchwoman with
her few gowns most vigorously insists upon.

Plea for the Mature Siren.

Mature sirens have been the subject OF SO
many tests that we have hardly considered
perhaps the real gain and value there may be
for a young man in a loyal and genuine
friendship with some woman nearly old
enough to be his mother. Such friend is
often one of the noblest formative influences
on the character. The woman who Is kind
enough honestly to interest herself in young
mans career, and wise enough to understand
his needs, very soon becomes his guide and
his philosopher, as we'll as his friend. The
hold she has on him may well be astonishing
to lockers on, but he who feels the spell yields
to it joyfully.
Such a woman's influence is chiefly the out
growth of her genuine interest in her friend.
She has grown little tired of life on her own
account The roses are withered for her, and
s'the old, old story" is told now to younger
ears She is done with personal ambitions,
and is all the more ready, therefore, to be
ambitious for this youth, more chivalrous and
devoted than most sons, and less exacting than
most lovers. She has responsibility in her
hands that she can hardly overestimate. 1t
is hers, in great part, to establish this mans
ideal of womanhood. If she is patient sweet,
wise and clever, he will never afterwsrd be
contented with a woman who lacks strength
or sweetness or cleverness, and her approval
Of the wife he will one day choose will be as
a medal Of honor.-Louise Chandler Moulton
in Boston Herald.

A Bound in Civilization.

A wonderful mechanical advance has Just
been made in the art Of dressmaking 1t is
SO simple and at the same time so advanta-
geous that it is fairly notifying to our
boosted enlightenment that it was not thought
OF before. 1t consists merely in taking a
plaster cast of the body and arm and build
ing the garment upon that, upon the princi-
pie of the shoemaker's last, instead of upon
the individual herself. This obviates the
tedious and repeated ordeal of being fitted
which underrnines the health OF so many
women. And in an age when men dress
makers are much employed it does away with
every possible kind of embarrassment, save
that of meeting the bills-a responsibility
which, as a rule, rests upon male shoulders
The discovery amounts to practical emanci-
patton Of women.
The process of taking the cast is an easy
and inexpensive one. The material for the
mold Is applied to a muslin surface fitted
over the contour on which the dress is to be
based The contour, of course. may be
natural or artificial to the degree that suits
the necessities or taste of the person con-
cerned. The cast once made win be service
able so long as the original maintains her
status quo, physically or artistically speak
ing, and can be transferred from one tailor
or dressmaker to another at will-New Yoi

Decline of Wall Street pies-

Business isn't anything like what it used
10 be" unused Wall street pie merchant re-
Gently. Twenty years ago, when 1 first
started in trade, thought nothing of selling
$50 pies a day. Money was plenty, and
Gowed like water. Brokers used to stand
around the streets in groups and sell stocks
on the sidewalk, and I caught their trade
I've often sold out my whole stock within
three hours. But that is all over now, and
100 pies day is good sale, and S. a day a
good income My profits usually amount to
about So day, and when you take into con-
sideration the fact that five mouths are to be
fed it will readily be seen that am not max
ing much of fortune Yet people, when
they see me here behind this counter, imagine
that l rake in piles of money, and because
don't retire and give some one else a chance
they call me miser
Like all good business men I've got to
keep my eyes open for skins A young and
good looking fellow will come up and take a
pie and, if don't watch him, walk off with
out paying for it. There's plenty of them
around, and if you don't look out they'll get
the best of you. It's'very easy to look at me
and say that I've got soft snap, and all that,
but come down to the hardpan of the thing
and try it yourself, and you'll find that even
the profession of a pievender is beset with
trials and Affections of which the outside
world has no knowledge New York Sun.

Children PLAYING "Soldier."

The health of the clever writer OF Vauoe-
yilles. Labiche, has not been such recently as
his friends could wish He has, however,
passed safely through the winter, ana 1 sa"
him driving the other day in the Bois Gle bou-
logne accompanied by several OF bis grand,
children 1t is of the latter that very gooc,
story is told.
These Young relatives of the dramatise i've
with him and are not only very numerous
but very noisy. When they played solder
they were wont to 'let themselves out" as the
phrase is. and made such clamor that the
nerves of the invalid were nearly shattered.
But the author of so many ingenious stage
tricks was not to be routed by a parcel OF
children, and he soon thought OF a way OF
securing the silence that "like a poultlce
comes to heal the blows of sound
@What are you doing there?" he asked one
day when the riot was at its height.
@Playing soldier, grandpapa."
PLAYING soldiers Why, children. that
isn't the right way at all. Not at all! That's
the old fashioned way in which they used to
play when was boy; but now everything
is changed War isn't carried on like
that"
@How then, grandpapa:'
And they opened their eyes very wide in
astonishment.
Without moving muscle Labiche went on:
"Of course not. Nowadays the great OBJ
iect in war is to surprise the enemy, to lay
ambuscades and to advance on tip toe
gently, gently
The children listened, more and more inter-
ested.
"That's the way.to make war now, and you
must learn it; for you boys will have to fight,
perhaps, some day. Do you understand me?"
"Oh yes, grandpapal"
And with a little added instruction, a pin
can now be heard to drop in the Labiche
household The children still play soldier"
but none of your old fashioned eyolutions for
them. All day long they go On noiseless pa
trolls They hide behind heavy pieces of
furniture to watch supposititious foe. A
new delight has been added to their lives,
and these noisy infants are ready to hug their
aged grandparent for having taught them so
interesting q game.
If the remedy only proves permanent,
Labiche should apply for patent.-Paris

NATURE.

AL Nature ever new, makes study new,
No finite mind can see the Everywhere,
There is Presence only souls which dwell
Above untrodden heights, with eyes unscaled
And ears unstoppeG can see or feel or know.
Yet all who will may clasp the Hidden Hand,
Nor fear to meet the Universal Eye.
Some ears can hear soft whisperings in space.
And voiceless songs and hymns and elegies.
Some eyes can see the images that sleep
Unhewn in marble blocks. Some hands can clasp
Impalpable and 1eeting forms that fade
Upon appearing.
Adoring let US walk, in holy wonder, down
The asles of sacred groves; mid grassy plains,
BY oceans shores, and hear the wordless voices
OF wave and leaf: and upward look in hope,
And rest in natures lap, and feel and hear
The beatings Of its omnipresent heart
In natures endless panoramic flight
Are words which God has framed and left IS
thoughts
Midst changing shadows Of q changing light,
And praise of psalming winds that mold the hills
AS affairs where the angels kneel-amidst
The clouds that veil celestial forms that come
From far, we, too, have place to live and die.
Yet death is blinded life, so nature says.
h changeful nature is our changeless God.
At natures opening gate We stand to see
What all life isis here and everywhere.
With folded hands and bowed head we wait
For God to lead US where life is all.
